Our take on the Sonos Playbar 5.1 Home Theater System
by Crutchfield's Ralph Graves

Talk about a win-win. With the Sonos 5.1 wireless home theater system, you get an enveloping, realistic surround sound system, and you have the start of a Sonos multi-room audio system.

Outstanding sound for your TV

The system features the Playbar, which can deliver vibrant, room-filling sound all by itself, thanks to its nine-speaker array. Built-in amplification and processing can handle Dolby® Digital and lossless audio formats. And its automatic equalization self-adjusts to the program material to provide rich, seamless sound.

The Playbar wirelessly connects to the Sonos Sub, which delivers the deep bass necessary for a truly immersive audio experience. Two Play:1 speakers serve as the surround channels to complete the wraparound movie theater sound experience. And because they, too, make a wireless connection to the Playbar, you can place them where you want them.

Note: You can set up a home theater system with the Playbar, the Sub, and Play:1 speakers as surrounds, all without making a wired connection to your router. However, for challenging Wi-Fi® environments we recommend adding the optional Sonos Boost (not included) to make a stable wireless connection.

Multi-room home audio

These four components can also form the core of your own Sonos multi-room wireless audio system — or represent a major addition to one if you already have Sonos in your home. The Playbar and Play:1 speakers work seamlessly with a variety of Internet music services, including Pandora, Spotify®, and SiriusXM Internet Radio. And because Sonos connects directly to the Internet for all of these music services, you don't even have to turn on your PC. And you can stream music and podcasts stored in the Music app of your iPhone®, iPad®, or iPod touch®.

The consensus was that the system sounded quite good. Lincoln, a Crutchfield advisor, said, “There's certainly ample power, good bass, and clarity.” I agreed as engines revved all around us during a thrilling chase scene. I bumped up the volume of the rear speakers and listened as airplanes flew from behind and over my shoulder before they even showed up on screen. We were also impressed how Dialogue Boost made even whispers clear.

Customer Q&A

Crutchfield askedWhy did you buy this?

Great overall system that combines good sound, style, and ease of use. Pricey, but worth it.
[ Rodney Oct 27, 2018 ]

I love Sonos and I am adding this to my existing system
[ Marc Jul 07, 2018 ]

Great package for a larger than normal room
[ Donald Sep 05, 2017 ]

Great sound, easy set-up and use. My only complaint would be no sound level indication. It would be nice to be able to go immediately to your favorite sound level for music, for movies or for television as they are all different. But I am very happy with the system.
[ Don Jul 22, 2017 ]

I have no idea what took me so long. I love my Sonos! Amazing sound quality, simple to install and operate.
[ K Apr 01, 2017 ]

The basic answer is three; a subwoofer and two surrounds. You can add more speakers if you add them as a group for a separate room.
[ Jame Mar 06, 2017 ]

Not sure there is a limit. I have 2 Play1s set up as a surround system. I have 4 more spread around the house and have connected them all together to here TV audio around the house. Also have used the Playbar and all of the speakers to have great music around the house while entertaining. Will do almost anything you want it to do highly recommend
[ Jerry Mar 05, 2017 ]

The answer is this, you can replace the Play1 surrounds with Play 3's or even Play 5's, but in all honesty, the gains just won't be that huge. The Play1 surrounds go plenty loud with amazing bass.
